Roy Harris Papers 5

Scope and Content NoteThe Roy Harris Papers span the period 1893-1998, with the majority of the materials dating from1933-1979. Included are music manuscripts, published and unpublished writings,correspondence, business papers, financial and legal documents, photographs, scrapbooks, workfiles, programs, posters, clippings, and biographical materials.

In the Music series, Harris' musical compositions, written principally between 1930 and 1976,are arranged by performing ensemble or genre: orchestra and band, vocal, chamber, dramatic,and others. These works consist almost exclusively of holograph or copyist manuscript scoresand sketches. Manuscript photo-reproductions are often annotated by Harris and other (usuallyunidentified) conductors or performers. Numerous unidentified sketches and fragments areaccompanied by original crate inventory lists that describe folder contents in great detail. Allsketch materials in the collection are in Harris' hand unless otherwise indicated on the containerlist. Many of the composer's early manuscript donations to the Library of Congress are catalogedin ML96.H278. Harris also possessed a variety of manuscripts and arrangements by othercomposers, some of whom were his students. These materials include holograph manuscriptscores, sketches, and printed scores inscribed to Harris.

As an author, Harris championed various topics concerning music education and the relationshipbetween music, composer, and American society. Written chiefly between 1934 and 1975, thesearticles, lectures, scripts, and interviews in the Writings series provide an indication of Harris'passionate (and often controversial) political attitudes toward music and culture. His seminars asthe distinguished Patten Lecturer at Indiana University in 1957 provide telling examples of thesephilosophies. Harris' 1958-1959 articles on music in the former Soviet Union, some of whichappeared in International Musician, also received unwanted attention from U.S. authorities fortheir seemingly praiseworthy portrayal of Soviet musical life. Draft materials for works withoutfinished typescripts are difficult to navigate. Many are undated, extensively annotated, andhaphazardly scrawled on oversized or re-used papers. Also included among the writings are avariety of scholarly articles, clippings, and reviews about specific Harris compositions, lifeevents, or related topics.

The Correspondence series chiefly consists of manuscript letters to and from Roy and JohanaHarris, acquaintances, and colleagues, as well as greeting cards sent to Harris. Routinecorrespondence is arranged chronologically, while letters from notable individuals are arrangedalphabetically by last name. Included are letters from Nadia Boulanger, John Cage, Lukas Foss,Eugene Ormandy, Vincent Persichetti, János Starker, and others. Additional correspondence isfound in the Business Papers series, which also includes subject files related to Harris'professional life as a teacher and organizer of music conferences. He enthusiastically promotedAmerican music abroad and contributed substantially to the organization of the InternationalConvention of Composers (1974), the International String Congress (1958-1970), the La JollaMusic Festival (1962-1963), and the Pittsburgh International Contemporary Music Festival(1952), the latter of which accounts for the bulk of material present in this series. Files arearranged alphabetically by subject and also include teaching materials (notes, lesson plans,exams, and exercises), curriculum vitae, and works lists, among other subjects.

The Musical Composition Files series, prepared by Harris' Pittsburgh colleague and copyistRobert French, contain notes, clippings, and other materials related to specific Harris pieces.Works are arranged alphabetically by title. The Financial and Legal Documents series containschecks, contracts, royalty statements, tax returns, and real estate documents that follow RoyHarris' academic career in the United States and Puerto Rico between 1947 and 1978. Nearlyone hundred photographs in the Photographs series capture the composer at various stages inhis life. These are loosely arranged by subject and include publicity and candid shots of Harrisalone, as well as images of family members, acquaintances, and others. The comprehensivePublicity Files and Programs series span over fifty years and track the performance and publicreception of Harris' compositions. Arranged chronologically, these files principally consist of

clippings and promotional materials, some of which pertain to Johana Harris' career as a pianist.These materials form the primary contents of the Scrapbooks series as well.

The Roy Harris Archive Society Materials series contains business papers that document thefounding of the Roy Harris Archive at California State University, Los Angeles, in 1973 and thesubsequent efforts of its members to promote Harris' music. Subjects include meeting agendasand minutes, correspondence, publications, and recordings. The final series, BiographicalMaterials, rounds up an assortment of bio notes, pamphlets, and other miscellaneous materialsabout Roy and Johana Harris.
